So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

Nothing at the moment, but I co-founded Rocky Linux and the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. I was Director of Operations there until I had to back away (health/medical reasons forced some pretty seismic shifts in my life). That was a rewarding and challenging experience!

I use Rocky! Thanks a lot @Leigh ! Great work. I wish Rocky/Alma wouldn't go in the way of redhat with dropping support of rpm for libreoffice but I know it's a pipedream.

I’m glad you enjoy it :) They’re following what Red Hat is doing because they’re intended to mimic precisely RHEL. We used to say that Rocky is a “bug for bug” mirror of RHEL. So they have no choice but to follow suit.
